I have found that there is a partial migration of settings in gconf
under system/networking, observed using gconf-editor
A new folder "connections" has been created and sequentially numbered
folders below this. Each folder contains partial details for my VPNs
In order for nm-applet to "see" these migrated VPNs, I did the following
from gconf-editor (to be done for each numbered key under
"connections"):
/system/networking/connections/1/vpn:
service-type = org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp # corrected from
.ppp-starter
/system/networking/connections/1/ipv4:
method = auto
# added new string attr
I can now edit the VPNs using nm-applet.
None of the settings from the orginal gconf
/system/networking/vpn_connections/{name}/vpn_data key have been
migrated to the new setup.
